Superheroing 101- Tuesday, January 9- 2nd period

[captainliberty]

When the students walk in, they should notice a woman standing at the front of the room. Wearing a really pretty revealing costume... and a cardigan over it so students won't be staring at her chest. Shhh. It's more professional for the first day.

"Good morning!" she says once everyone's taken their seats, a syllabus on every desk. "I'm Captain Liberty, and welcome to Superheroing 101. I am a professional superhero. Trust me, I wouldn't dress like this on a normal basis." God, she hates the cardigan. She feels like one of those really young teachers she had in school who used to dress like her grandma. Luckily she's missing the lacy collar and the flats with bows on them. "In this class, you'll get to learn the ins and outs of identifying a bad guy, getting rid of one, and also dealing with the, um, more personal sides of it. And by the way, no, I don't have superpowers. They're great and definitely a help if you have them, but hopefully by the end of this you'll figure out that having common sense and the right mindset helps just as much. Also, if you know the people I do, common sense is kind of a rarer commodity." Sigh.

"But for now the first thing we're going to do is decide on superhero names. You'll be using these names- not your real ones- anytime you're in class," she says, and yes she's pleased with coming up with that when she has three Peters in the class. "The only thing I ask is that if you are going to go into professional superheroing, or already do, don't use your real fake name. If anyone in the class goes evil and turns into a supervillain, you don't want them knowing your real identity. That gets messy.

"Once we've done that, we're going to go around the room so you can introduce yourselves. Go ahead and add in any powers you're willing to divulge and if you have a superheroing experience, feel free to tell a story. Plus, naturally being both teenagers and potential superheroes, you're bound to want to talk about yourself somehow. We're all about sharing here!"

Which isn't code for Captain Liberty failing at coming up with an actual assignment for class yet, nope.

"I'm the Love Machine," Seely said, hooking his thumbs in the waistband of his pants. "I feel that's self-explanatory."

"The Psychic Wonder," Bridge says, after thinking for a minute. "Because, I'm, well. Psychic." Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that, but "psychic" is the easiest explanation.

"I'm... Pirate Princess."

Miley didn't really have any idea so she went with she had scribbled down on the paper. Well, besides 'Mrs. Orlando Bloom'.

"Yelim the...uh...great." Maybe the backwards name would throw people off.

Oh what the hell. "Multiple Man."

Edward chuckles. This is his "superhero" name. Still, he isn't stupid enough to reveal that, so he says "I'm Darker Force. Hopefully, when people see me out there fighting, they can talk to each other and say, "Look! Darker Force's at work.""
It was a poor pun, but from what Henry had researched the night before, superheroes needed to a have one in their names somewhere.

John stands and says, "I am Mr. Fantastically Awesome and Sometimes Spectacular," John says. "And my skills revolve around flying without a cape, super strength. I am, however, weak against chick flicks and blond, curly haired English teachers."

Teddy went the easy way and decided to just use his normal superhero name. "Hulkling!"

Nobody was finding out Peter's real superhero name here except for the people in the class who... already knew it. At least those weren't his fault.

"I am, um, the Human Spider."

"I'm... the Dreamer?" Peter tried.

Oh yeah. She was so using it. "I will be Princess Powerful!" Molly said raising a fist in a dramatic fashion. "My powers are my super strength and my near invulnerability."

"I was thinking of something along the lines of Nature Girl," Layla said. "I can control plants. Which is cooler than in sounds, really."

"I am Pom Pom Power!" announced Buffy and bounced.

Cassie had gone through a big list in her head. 'Shrinky-Dink' didn't cover the whole scope of her powers. 'Inflatable Girl' made her sound... dirty. 'Ant-Girl' and 'Giant-Girl' were right out. 'Titan' made her sound like a member of another comic company's trendy teen hero group didn't really feel right. 'Marshmallow in a Microwave' both grew and shrank, but wasn't exactly a good superhero name. 'Scarlet Witch's Worst Nightmare' didn't work well, either. She really, really wished she could go with 'Stature'.

She pulled out her thesaurus, sighed and stood up.

"Proportion," she said. "I can change my size, both growing and shrinking."

Katara stared. "Why can't I use my name?"

"I'm the Rhode Island Blob." says Peter "I um...eat things."

It took a long time to figure out a name that she could use that wasn't "Batgirl", but one finally struck her. She beams up at Captain Liberty. "Violet Femme."

JD stood up and did his superhero pose, trying to pull his 5' 5" frame as tall as possible.

"I am the Most Gigantic Doctor!"

Will had to actually stop and think about that. Neither she or the other W.I.T.C.H. girls actually used any codenames when going out to fight evil.

"Um, I'm the Guardian of Candrcar? And I can do things with energy and electricity and electronics and stuff."

Might as well be honest about her powers here at least.

Talk amongst yourselves

[captainliberty]

Brainstorm your superhero names, talk while other are talking, etc. etc. etc.

Pippi is thinking hard about what her superhero name should be.
